It's a Saturday post .....

Hi there,Hubby's away so I've been free to play!!! He's gone off on an annual reunion boys night, in sunny Plymouth!! So, the door closed and I hit the ToC (that's Table of Craftiness if you didn't know) ....

My card

The front and back of my card and front of my envelope

The inside of my card and reverse of my envelope

Materials used:

Pearl, 300gsm, DL card and matching sized envelope - an uncommon size for me these days but the image seemed a smidge too long for the C6 I've been using lately

Someone on facebook posed a tricky crafting question: You are going on a trip. You can take pre-cut white card stock and ONLY 5 other items, to include ONE stamp set. What would you take ? If you can, share a picture of the stamp set.Here's my FIVE, based purely on the trip taking place TODAY - you KNOW how your faves change!!!

Feel free to add your choice of FIVE in comments .. if I get more than ten people posting their FIVE then there WILL be a prize (FOLLOWERS and UK posting only, sorry). I'll be closing the book on this on Friday Feb 24th.Edited Feb 24th - only five comments contained their "FIVE" which means no prize, as I said I needed ten entries - sorry peeps

These are brilliant Kathy! You know how much I love that giraffe from the Katzelkraft set... makes me giggle every time! And your card for our alphabet challenge is great with the text speak U and embossed alphabet background. Love it! Not sure what my top 5 trip faves would be... I guess black Memento ink, Zigs, a stitched rectangle die (love my stitched card panels!), Altenew Botanical Garden stamps and the matching dies... for today anyway! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

Two beautiful cards Kathy and the giraffe is such a fun image and perfectly coloured, and the sentiment and script inked with the pretty yellow in the masked circle looks great. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

Fab cards Kathy! I adore the giraffe, really made me smile. And your LIM card is just perfect! As for which five items I'd take away with me - these days I can barely decide on what to do at home let alone when away :)

Lovely zingy colour in your LIM card and great use of the graphic stamps. Fab idea to stamp the reverse side of the envelope too. Had a huge crafting break but back again and if pressed my 5 items would be Stamp set...anything with sentiments, double sided tape, scissors, Versafine ink pad, sticky fixers.x

Super cards Kathy, love the thank you sentiment. I've been making thank you cards today and would have loved to use that stamp.As for my 5 essentials .... just tried to make this list - it's impossible!!But here goes: stamp set with thank you + images, memento ink, pencils. glue, acrylic stamping block, but I would NOT be held accountable for any card I may produce with this little lot, lol.

That girafe is such a funny stamp; love how you coloured it! And you were quick again at LIM's challenge with such a brilliant design! (Why didn't I make it myself easier?) Love the colour! Hope you have a good weekend!

A duo of gorgeousness Kathy. That giraffe really makes me giggle and you've coloured him to perfection BUT my fav here has to be the Thank U card. Absolutely spot on perfect for our alphabet challenge and a total eye-popping one too in that Lime Green .. Love it and thanks as always for playing along with us at Less is More. Sarah x

That giraffe is such a fab image, Kathy and I absolutely love your thank you card! The masked circle and bold sentiment look perfectly graphic and CAS. Thank you for playing along with us at Less is More again this week :)

About Me

I'm married to an avid radio control model plane enthusiast - every man should have a hobby, especially if it leaves me free to craft without GUILT!!!! We are both free to indulge our hobbies and mine is rubber stamping. Mostly I make cards and ATC's though I've been gradually getting more and more in to mixed media, art journalling and scrap booking!. I'll have a go at most crafts . . . some even more than once!!!

Housekeeping!
